Branded Posted November 24, 2017 Report Posted November 24, 2017 Can anyone enlighten me as to why the rear camshaft bearing isn't replaceable. Only the front 3 have an actual bearing. Is there any preparation that needs to be done the the very rear camshaft non replaceable bearing journal. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted November 25, 2017 Report Posted November 25, 2017 Should never need anything other than a bore size check to cam diameter and fit. I've never had a worn one. Quote

I've never had a worn one. My thinking is the rear journal acts as more of a guide than anything due to the smaller diameter. The front 3 cam bearings would actually be doing all the support of the cam. Am I thinking correctly. Edited November 25, 2017 by Branded Quote
dpollo Posted November 25, 2017 Report Posted November 25, 2017 Yes, you are correct. The rear bearing is very lightly loaded. I have never heard of one being worn out. Quote
